Indivisibles,

On Sunday, Ezra shared our strategy for defeating MAGA Republicans and
avoiding a default on the national debt. To read his full email, you can

Here’s a quick recap: MAGA Republicans are driving the country toward a
catastrophic default unless Democrats agree to extreme (and totally
unrelated) budget cuts that will hurt millions of Americans. So far,
President Biden and (most) Democrats are standing strong and demanding
Republicans pay America’s bills without preconditions. That’s the correct
approach -- but with mere weeks left before a default, they need help
pushing Republicans to act. 

The path forward for Democrats involves a legislative action called a
discharge petition. The details are long and boring but in short, if we
can get just five Republicans to support the petition, then Democrats can
force a bill onto the House floor that averts a default without the toxic
cuts that MAGA Republicans are demanding. 

To peel away the five Republican votes, we need a massive grassroots
pressure campaign targeting the most vulnerable Republicans in the House
-- [ [link removed] ]the Unrepresentatives. That’s why we’re working to put up billboards
like this one ⬇️ in target districts across the country. [ [link removed] ]We’ll get into
the details of our strategy below, but we’ll say here at the top that we
need your help to get these billboards up ASAP. If you’re in a position to
give, please chip in here.

Garcia is betraying the Antelope Valley'

Thanks to the polling done by our national partners, we already know the
cuts the Unrepresentatives voted for are incredibly unpopular --
especially the cuts to Medicaid and education that will harm millions of
seniors, kids with disabilities, teachers, and low-income students. The
only problem is not enough voters know about the demands their Republican
reps are making. 

That’s where we come in. Local Indivisible groups have been laying the
foundation for this work for months. In fact, thanks in part to their
strategic work, Republicans backed off their earlier plans to cut Social
Security and Medicare. Now, groups are planning even more rallies,
protests, and actions to ramp up the pressure on the Unrepresentatives. 

We’re adding to this work through targeted messaging like the billboard
above. The first one is going up in Unrepresentative Mike Garcia’s
district, CA-27. Garcia has made his military service a cornerstone of his
campaigns so in addition to highlighting the cuts to Medicaid and school
funding, we’re also highlighting his vote to slash veterans’ benefits. 

We’re currently working with Indivisible groups in AZ-06 ([ [link removed] ]Rep.
Ciscomani), PA-01 ([ [link removed] ]Rep. Fitzpatrick), and VA-02 ([ [link removed] ]Rep. Kiggans) to
identify the best locations for billboards in their districts, and we’ll
be applying the same targeted messaging. 

[ [link removed] ]To pay for the billboards, we need to raise $20,000 -- and with just a
few weeks until the default deadline, we need to act quickly. Pitch in
today and help us get these billboards up as soon as possible.

We know the Republican demands are unpopular and we know their coalition
is vulnerable. The last thing these Unrepresentatives want is for their
constituents to know they’re holding the entire global economy hostage in
order to get tax giveaways for the rich and harmful cuts for everyone
else. It’s hard to win reelection when that’s your brand. So we’re going
to hammer them on it until they relent.  

If we continue to apply grassroots pressure and do the work to assert our
power, we will win this fight. And with stakes this high, it’s a fight
we’ve got to win. So please -- [ [link removed] ]chip in if you can.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
